Sustainability Speaker
Change Practice presentation
How do we enable change around us? What does leadership look like in the 21st Century? Why does our brain hurt when we try to embed new behaviour? How to we create social movements within our workplace? And why wont that person listen to me? I've told them a thousand times! For fifteen years Ian McBurney has delivered successful workplace culture change programs with business, manufacturing, local government, small business and communities, always drawing on the latest in neuroscience, environmental education, community development and culture change principles. His fast paced and inspiring talk is a journey through the complex web of human behaviour, learning and change practice. It is as relevant to large scale organisational change as it is to organising a lunchroom compost bin.
Good for the earth is good for business
A fast paced and inspiring look at the fast growing green economy, the state of the planet and the largest people movement in human history. In development for over ten years and delivered with Ian's trademark humour, passion and clarity, he delivers a vibrant mix of stories, AV, info and interactivity that inspires, excites and challenges us to change.
A talk completely adaptable for any audience. It has been delivered with rave reviews at universities, tafe, in boardrooms, manufacturing plants, schools, business events, rotary clubs, schools, sustainable living festivals, local government forums, university of the third age, Sustainability Street communities and more.
Ian delivers a wake up call - to recognise that humanity faces it's greatest challenge and also it's greatest opportunities. We have a wonderful chance to recreate the way we live in this earth in a generation - for ourselves, for our children and all of life on earth.
Nature Hit presentation
What does nature mean for our workplace, our wellbeing, our economy and our lives? How connected are we to nature? Or is nature somewhere else? In typical style Ian weaves together stories, video, photos, the latest research and real world examples in this unforgettable presentation about our connection to our home - earth, and the inspiration nature can be for business, for our communities, our health and our future.
